The net- ting about the cyclinder is omitted. end is formed of two common bent felloes of buggy wheels, bolted together so as to break joints ; the lower end has no rim except the selvage edge of the piece of wire netting. The reel is built on a shaft connected with the trundling rod from the power and the shaft of the roller by knuckle joints. These allow the reel to be given any desired incli- nation by raising or lowering the journal block in the jack which supports the lower end. The vat is simply a hole in the ground lined with boards so as to keep dirt out of the seeds but allow the juice to soak away into the soil. In practice the vat should be made deeper than is shown and have guard boards to prevent the seeds and juice flying from the reel out on the ground. It will be neces- sary to set the machine where there will be no danger of rain or other water soaking or running into the vat. In Fig. 227 the same machine is. Fig. 227. Detail of seeder shown in Fig. 226. shown with the hopper and reel taken off, and the frame tipped forward to show the rollers as if we were looking down on them. The rollers should be made of hard wood, and are about sixteen inches long and twelve inches in diameter, having eight grooves about three inches wide and one and one- half inches deep, cut with a spiral of one cog. The teeth or cogs are about one and one-half inches wide and would be better if faced with strap iron. The rollers might be made of soft wood and the teeth faced with iron, but they would be much in-.
